[CODE4LIB] urldecode problem and CAS
CODE4LIB, I'm looking for some urldecode help if possible. I have an app that gets a call through a url which looks like this in order to pull up a specific record: http://../app.cfm?id=15 It is password protected and we have recently moved to CAS for authentication. After it gets passed from CAS back to our server it looks like this and tosses an error: http://../app.cfm?id%3d15 The equals sign translated to %3d Any ideas are appreciated. thanks -Jimmy -- Jimmy Ghaphery Head, Library Information Systems VCU Libraries http://www.library.vcu.edu --
Re: [CODE4LIB] urldecode problem and CAS
So a user arrives at your app. You see that they are not logged in, and so redirect them to the CAS server with a return URL back to your application. Do you have an example of that URL? --Dave == David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu From: Code for Libraries [code4...@listserv.nd.edu] On Behalf Of Jimmy Ghaphery [jghap...@vcu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 9:18 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] urldecode problem and CAS CODE4LIB, I'm looking for some urldecode help if possible.

Re: [CODE4LIB] urldecode problem and CAS
Yes the original url looks like http://../app.cfm?id=15 and the return url coming back from CAS looks like http://../app.cfm?id%3d15 I am pretty sure this is native to the way CAS returns urls, and probably need to ping some ColdFusion folks on how to deal with the urlencoded return. I'll also message the ColdFusion library group. If anyone out here has CAS experience and can confirm that urlencoded return urls seem normal that would be helpful.

Re: [CODE4LIB] urldecode problem and CAS
I'd first make sure you're not url-encoding your return URL twice. I'd like to not believe that a CAS server wouldn't url-decode before the redirect, but ...

I know I've seen documetnation on the LC site before for since-abandoned marc bib tags, like 400. But I can't for the life of me find it now navigating around the website or googling. does anyone know where this is? Jonathan

Some of that stuff is in Appendix H of the online documentation: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdapndxh.html -Tod On Jan 27, 2010, at 1:59 PM, Jonathan Rochkind wrote: I know I've seen documetnation on the LC site before for since-abandoned marc bib tags, like 400.

Re: [CODE4LIB] marc documentation?
Aha! Not quite, but that did have a link to what I did mean! The Appendix H Local/Obsolete Data Elements page at: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdapndxh.html Thanks! I missed this becuase on the table of contents for the MARC documentation, Appendix H is just called Local Data Elements, without the word Obsolete, which left me not realizing on reading the ToC that that's what I wanted. Phew. Thanks!

[CODE4LIB] Kingston? And now the date (was Re: [CODE4LIB] Location of the first Code4Lib North meeting?)
I went through all the mail about this and counted a + for each of the top two choices people made (if they made two; otherwise just one + for their single vote). The results: Kingston +++ Montreal +++ Ottawa + Toronto Sudbury Hamilton (No-one really came out as wanting it in Toronto, though obviously it's there and it seems to be a fallback for everyone.) Kingston came out on top, as a nice city, in the middle of everything, with people ready to help, and easy to get to my bus/train/car, if not by plane---but then it's expected, being a local chapter, that people will be coming from nearby, so that's not really a problem. So unless people see a need for a more definite vote, it seems like we're OK with Kingston. Is that cool? Next we need to decide dates. We had these comments: April/May not 16 April - 16 May not end of April not end of April after April May/June second half of May not 10-11 May (Canadian ETD and Open Repositories in Ottawa) not 9 May-13 May (ELUNA, Fort Worth, Texas) And there are two long weekends to avoid because people will be busy: not Monday 31 May (Memorial Day in US) not Monday 24 May (Victoria Day in Canada) Assuming it will be in Kingston, Wendy, are there any dates to avoid because of something happening there, like Annual Everything Is Closed Day or a special Hunt the Librarian event? `cal may 2010` tells me: May 2010 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Monday 3? Thursday-Friday 6-7? 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22Monday 17? 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Thursday-Friday 6-7 May (perhaps Thursday night and Friday all day?) seems like it fits almost all but one date range. Two Mondays would also work, 3 May and 17 May. If we want to keep it to one working day that could mean doing it all on Monday, or configuring ourselves Sunday night and being around Monday. I think a Thursday-Friday seems better, though---people can travel back Friday night or Saturday, as they want, and that means more time for hanging out on Friday night. How should we do the dates? Given the April/May range, and the suggested restrictions, I think these are the days that work. Can we vote on the list, or should we do a Doodle thingie? If we can vote here then I say +1 Thursday-Friday 6-7 May Bill -- William Denton, Toronto : miskatonic.org www.frbr.org openfrbr.org
